HP DL140g2 with serial ata hangs at ata0-master identifying

[Ulf Zimmermann]

I am trying to install 5.4-REL on a HP DL140g2 which has serial
ata inside, but also pata interfaces (for like the cdrom) but no
option to disable the said pata ports. And 5.4-rel install boot only
cd is hanging at ata0-master identify. Is there a way to tell the
kernel not to probe ata0? It hasn't even gone through it to find
the sata controller.
